Taking time to note times I see God's work in my life especially with the very little things as well as the big. I'm thankful for all the gifts in life. Helping me to keep perspective...

Molly's zucchini noodle salad

A good read to get life in perspective. We aren't hunted or tortured. We can practice our Catholic faith. Thank God for the witness of the English martyrs.

"Hey mom, want to read a story I've been writing?"

Yes!

5000 words later!

At home pedicure

Ceci getting me out for a bike ride,

and getting out before the heat did.

Surviving Weather weirdness

Country visits

All the ladies locked in, coming in on their own.

Dad to Lilly: I really don't want chickens in the house.

An exasperated Lilly:

Then how am I going to watch tv now?

Amazing neighbors

Helped to guide nine clean souls

Time to clean out the dress up box

Rediscovering doodles

An opportunity to practice patience

Lily and her kindness to everyone we meet. Reconciling friendships.

I'm thankful for my sense to breathe fresh air, see sunlight, feel wind in my hair, and hear the sounds of children play and birds sing.

Exciting hail.

Conversation starters with Lilly in the car: How does grass grow? How do we get water to the house through the pipes for us to drink? Did you and dad have a long kiss on your wedding?

I'm touching the sky.

Volunteers

Finding another use for those little house windows with clings.

No dumpster damage fees! Phew!

Cheating on Costco with my beloved HEB. How I missed variety!

Phil 4:8 "for the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.

Third time in shop the month, for different and unrelated problems, sigh! Come on car, I'm cheering for you! Let's go another 100k!
